US implements sanctions on two Israeli settler West Bank outposts

The Biden administration imposed sanctions on two Israeli outposts in the occupied West Bank on Thursday, the latest move against settlement activity it says is an obstacle to peace between Israelis and Palestinians.

According to the Office of Foreign Assets Control's website, the US Treasury Department added two entities, Moshes Farm and Zvis Farm, and three Israeli nationals to its list of sanctioned entities.

Axios reported late on Wednesday, citing three US officials, that the outposts would be targeted with sanctions because they were used as a base for attacks on Palestinians by settlers deemed to be extremist.

The administration said at the time that Israel's expansion of settlements in the West Bank was inconsistent with international law, signaling a return to longstanding US policy on the issue that the previous administration of Donald Trump had reversed.
